Tesla spotting in Blackford

I note some of the motoring press this week are covering the Tesla S 85 which has been purchased by a local resident in Blackford.

For those who are not petrolheads (quite the wrong word in this context), the car in question is one of perhaps 250** UK purchases of this cutting edge electric car. The Scotsman motoring section tells me this one cost £90,000 and was imported direct from the USA. A bit of googling suggest that it would be the US taxpayer who paid the several tens of thousands of subsidy which goes towards each car. Phew.
